Book Review: What I Eat

Eighty people from around the globe share their narrative and what they typically eat on an ordinary day. The authors traveled to 30 countries and more than a dozen U.S. states to meticulously capture food intake, calories, age, activity level, height, weight, and most importantly, their stories.

I highly recommend this book for all nutritionists and foodies alike.
